(±)-Ethyl mandelate

Description:

(±)-Ethyl mandelate is an organic compound that belongs to the class of mandelic acid esters. It is characterized by its chiral nature, existing as a racemic mixture of two enantiomers, which are the (R)- and (S)- forms. This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a pleasant, fruity odor. It is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and ether but has limited solubility in water. (±)-Ethyl mandelate is often used in organic synthesis and as a chiral building block in the production of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Its unique properties make it valuable in asymmetric synthesis, where the specific configuration of the molecule can influence the biological activity of the resulting compounds. Additionally, it can serve as a flavoring agent and is sometimes utilized in the fragrance industry. Safety data indicates that it should be handled with care, as with many organic compounds, to avoid potential health hazards.
